I have a project requirement that forces me to install ruby 1.8.4. However, the ruby version on port list is 1.8.5, and doing port install ruby @1.8.4 does not yield the installation of 1.8.4 (it still gives me 1.8.5). Can I still use darwinport to install 1.8.4 from other port repository? Or do I have to compile and install by hand?
First, find out the svn revision number of the Portfile you want by visiting the following URL. In your case, it turns out to be 16709.
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/lang/ ruby/Portfile
Next, set up a local repository:
sudo port install subversion
mkdir /Users/Shared/dports
sudo sed -e '1i\
file:///Users/Shared/dports' -i~ /opt/local/etc/ports/sources.conf
Now retrieve that versioned port and install it in your local
repository:
cd /Users/Shared/dports
svn co --revision 16709 http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/
trunk/dports/lang/ruby/ lang/ruby/
portindex /Users/Shared/dports
Finally, install ruby again. Your private portfile from the local
repository will be used, as it's listed first in sources.conf.
sudo port uninstall -f ruby
sudo port install ruby
Of course, if you already have a local repository set up, there's no
need to add another one. ;-)
Hope this helps, Marc
